A Papal Connection During my quest into our past, I have discovered a vast number of different occupations held by my ancestors. Farmers, physicians, artists, musicians, politicians, businessmen and the list continues on. But never did I expect to find that we came very close to adding a pope to the family tree. In the conclave of 1903, it was widely expected that Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro would be elected pope following the death of Leo XIII. Apparently, it was common knowledge that he had enough votes. However, while the conclave met, Austrian Emperor Frances Joseph I exercised his right of jus exclusivae, familiarly known as the papal veto, sending a messenger to the Vatican to express his disapproval of the choice. There is no evidence of why the Austrian Emperor objected to Rampolla. It is possible that the latter’s pro-French positions were not looked upon favorably. Others believe it was retribution for the denial Rampolla had issued, blocking a church funeral for the Austrian Crown Prince Rudolph because he committed suicide. Whatever the reason, even though it was never formally accepted by the Catholic Church, the veto, which had been used in the past by the French monarchy, the Spanish monarchy and the Austrian empire, was successful in influencing the votes away from Rampolla. Cardinal Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto of Italy thus became Pope Pius X. One of his first actions was to forbid the use of the jus exclusivae in the future. To date, it has never been overtly attempted since. Mariano Rampolla, the last papal candidate to be removed from consideration due to a regal objection, remained Arch-Priest of St. Peters following the 1903 conclave and served as Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He is related to our family through the husband of my niece.

Apostolic Lines of Succession-10-2018
Apostolic Lines of Succession for ++Michael David Callahan, DD, OCR, OCarm. The Catholic Church in America “Have you an apostolic succession? Unfold the line of your bishops.” Tertullian, 3rd century A.D. A special visible expression of Apostolic Succession is given in the consecration/ ordination of a bishop through the laying on of hands by other bishops who have, themselves, been ordained in the same manner through a succession of bishops leading back to the apostles of Jesus. The role of the bishop must always be understood within the context of the authentic handing on of the faith from one generation to the next generation of the whole Church, beginning with the Christian community of the time of the Apostles. Thus, as the Church is the continuation of the apostolic community, so the bishops are the continuation of the ministry of the college of the apostles of Jesus within that apostolic community. It is essentially collegial rather than monarchical. This tradition is affirmed in the teaching ministry of Church leadership, and authentically celebrated in the sacraments, with particular attention to the sacrament of holy orders (ordination) and the laying on of hands. Apostolic Succession is the belief of Catholic Christians that the bishops are successors of the original apostles of Jesus. This is understood as the bishops being ordained into the episcopal collegium or “sacramental order.” As bishops are by tradition consecrated by at least three other bishops, the actual number of lists of succession can become quite substantial. Listed here are three lines of succession: 1. From Saints Paul and Linus Succession through Archbishop Baladad 2.

Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages by Nicholas Brett Sivulka Wheeler A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicholas Brett Sivulka Wheeler 2018 Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages Nicholas Brett Sivulka Wheeler Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation, ‘Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages’, investigates changing perceptions of perjury and false witness in the late antique and early medieval world. Focusing on primary sources from the Latin-speaking, western Roman empire and former empire, approximately between the late third and seventh centuries CE, this thesis proposes that perjury and false witness were transformed into criminal behaviours, grave sins, and canonical offences in Latin legal and religious writings of the period. Chapter 1, ‘Introduction: The Problem of Perjury’s Criminalization’, calls attention to anomalies in the history and historiography of the oath. Although the oath has been well studied, oath violations have not; moreover, important sources for medieval culture – Roman law and the Christian New Testament – were largely silent on the subject of perjury. For classicists in particular, perjury was not a crime, while oath violations remained largely peripheral to early Christian ethical discussions. Chapter 2, ‘Criminalization: Perjury and False Witness in Late Roman Law’, begins to explain how this situation changed by documenting early possible instances of penalization for perjury. Diverse sources such as Christian martyr acts, provincial law manuals, and select imperial ii and post-imperial legislation suggest that numerous cases of perjury were criminalized in practice.

Bibliografía I. Boletín De Historia De La Teología En El Período 1500-1800
Archivo Teológico Granadino 67 (2004) 231-421 BIBLIOGRAFÍA I. BOLETÍN DE HISTORIA DE LA TEOLOGÍA EN EL PERÍODO 1500-1800 Autores Acosta, José de SASTRE, E., Gli “altri” visti dal missionario gesuita Padre José de Acosta (1600): Euntes Docete 56 (2003) 189-208. Este estudio pretende mostrar un ejemplo de aproximación a “los otros”, a los pueblos de las diversas Indias, a finales del siglo XVI. Se basa en el análisis de las dos célebres obras de Acosta, Historia natural y moral de las Indias y De procuranda indorum salute. Expone primero la visión de “los otros” en la perspectiva misionera de Acosta, los tres géneros de “otros” en las Indias, orientales y occidentales: los primeros, más civilizados, como eran los chinos, japoneses y otros de India oriental, los segundos, los que sin haber alcanzado la escritura, ni los conocimientos civiles, tienen su organización social, como eran los mejicanos, peruanos, y la tercera clase, bárbaros, que se diferencian poco de los animales, como eran muchos del Brasil, Florida, y también en Molucas e islas Salomón. Indica luego la diversa manera de llevarles a ellos el evangelio Por último, el autor indica brevemente algunos apuntes de Acosta sobre el modo de evangelizar a la segunda y tercera clase de “otros”, y la imagen del obispo y del misionero indianos. Ágreda, María de Jesús de LLAMAS, E., O.C.D., La Madre Ágreda y la Mariología del Vaticano II. Salamanca 2003. 121 págs. ISBN 84-607-8014-7. La Congregación para la doctrina de la fe ha declarado que «no se puede afirmar que existan verdaderos errores doctrinales y herejías en la Mística Ciudad de Dios», pero añade que «la presentación que se hace en esa obra de la figura de la Madre de Dios contrasta con la que nos ofrece la Sagrada Escritura y no es compatible con la mariología desarrollada por el Concilio Vaticano II».

Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro (1843-1913) Grégory Woimbée I – Un diplomate exemplaire (1870-1887) Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro naquit en août 1843 à Polizzi Generosa en Sicile, un bourg situé non loin de Palerme. Il appartenait à une famille comtale de la noblesse sicilienne. Il vit la fin du royaume des Deux-Siciles. Lorsque Garibaldi débarqua à Marsala et que la Sicile fut annexée au Piémont puis au tout nouveau royaume d’Italie, il commençait ses études au collège Capranica, prestigieux séminaire romain qui existe toujours aujourd’hui. Devenu prêtre à l’âge de vingt-trois ans, ce « Capranicense », promis à la Curie romaine, entra tout naturellement à l’Académie des nobles ecclésiastiques. Créée par Clément XI en 1701, elle dépend directement de la Secrétairerie d’Etat et forme toujours les membres du Corps diplomatique et les représentants permanents du Saint-Siège sous le nom actuel d’Académie pontificale ecclésiastique.

Benedict XV's Diplomacy in Greater Syria (S
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy Washington, D.C. 2012 Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Gres-Gayer, STD, Ph.D. Pope Benedict XV’s pontificate (1914-1922), misunderstood by his contemporaries and neglected by recent scholarship, coincides with the reshaping of the Middle East, from the beginning of World War One to the assignment of Mandates to France and Britain over Syria and Palestine. This study examines Benedict XV’s diplomacy in Greater Syria. Its unique aspect resides in the combination of two approaches. Benedict’s main priority was to ensure the survival of Christians in the Middle East, providing them with a dynamic ecclesiological structure. The pontiff completed and institutionalized the traditional ecclesiological approach in favor of unionism, with the goal to strengthen the ecclesial structures of the Eastern churches and equip them with solid legal foundations. This ecclesiological approach was integrated in Benedict XV’s global geo-political vision that shifted away from its past Eurocentric vision and was combined with an anticipation of the decolonization era. Benedict completed these guiding principles with a policy of emancipation of the missionary world from the bondage of colonial powers, preparing the Church for an active role in the world.

An Axiomatic Analysis of the Papal Conclave
Economic Theory https://doi.org/10.1007/s00199-019-01180-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE An axiomatic analysis of the papal conclave Andrew Mackenzie1 Received: 26 January 2018 / Accepted: 12 February 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract In the Roman Catholic Church, the pope is elected by the (cardinal) electors through “scrutiny,” where each elector casts an anonymous nomination. Using historical doc- uments, we argue that a guiding principle for the church has been the protection of electors from the temptation to defy God through dishonest nomination. Based on axiomatic analysis involving this principle, we recommend that the church overturn the changes of Pope Pius XII to reinstate the scrutiny of Pope Gregory XV, and argue that randomization in the case of deadlock merits consideration.

Loisy's Theological Development Valentine G
LOISY'S THEOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT VALENTINE G. MORAN, S.J. Campion College, Victoria, Australia N DECEMBER 1903 the Congregation of the Holy Office added five I works of Alfred Loisy to its Index of Prohibited Books1 and made their author widely known. Up to this time the Abbé Loisy had written most of his articles and books for seminarians and priests, or for scholars engaged in his own field of biblical studies. He was hardly known to the general public of France; even the Catholic public had only recently begun to hear of him. He wrote about the Scriptures and the questions that critics, particularly in Germany, had been asking for over fifty years about their truth, authorship, and inspiration; and his readiness to accept many of the answers which the critics offered had put him squarely among a small group of Catholic scholars in Europe who wanted to adapt the Church's teaching to the contemporary world, to have the Church absorb, not reject, the results of scientific research that had a bearing on religion and especially on Christianity. Loisy's writing had caused trouble with his superiors before 1903. He had been forced to resign his chair of Scripture at the Institut Catholique of Paris in 1893; in 1900 the Archbishop of Paris forbade the Revue du clergé français2 to publish anything he wrote.3 By that time what had reached the clergy, especially the younger priests, was through them beginning to reach the laity, and the publication by Loisy of several radical articles between 1898 and 1903 caused controversy in the Catholic press.
